I have been waiting for the CNE to give a new bulletin of yesterday's results, but so far no luck in obtaining a complete set of numbers for what happened last night. Remarkably, the number of Deputies for the opposition keeps increasing, with the latest estimate between 117 and 118 Deputies.

This is truly in the upper range of any expectations as voters clearly expressed their disenchantment with the Bolivarian revolution and the current state of the Venezuelan economy. Maduro was not that gracious or wise in accepting the defeat, devoting most of his time to blaming the "economic war" for the defeat and not the economic stupidity of his Government's policies. Never has the phrase "It's the Economy Stupid" resonate more than today in Venezuela.

The Venezuelan Electoral Board just announced the first official results announcing the Opposition obtained 113 Deputies and Chavismo's PSUV obtained only 54 Deputies. This means a super majority, a scenario that I considered highly unlikely even today.
